146 Multimeter Command Reference Chapter 3
VOLTage:AC:RESolution
[SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:RESolution <resolution> selects the resolution for AC
voltage measurements. See Table 3-4 on page 71 to avoid a settings conflict error
when specifying resolution.
Parameters
Comments • MINimum selects the best resolution (the smallest value) for the selected range.
MAXimum selects the worst resolution (the largest value) for the selected range.
• You must select a range using VOLTage:AC:RANGe before specifying
resolution. Also, only specify a resolution when making measurements on a
fixed range. Otherwise, the resolution will change to correspond with the range
selected during autoranging.
• The VOLT:AC:RES command overrides the resolution setting from a previous
CONFigure:VOLT:AC:RES command.
• Related Commands: CONFigure, VOLTage:DC:RESolution
• *RST Condition: 1E-04

READ?
Place multimeter in wait-for-trigger state and make
measurements; send readings to output buffer.
VOLTage:AC:RESolution?
[SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:RESolution? [MIN | MAX] returns one of the following
numbers to the output buffer.
• The present resolution selected if MIN or MAX is not specified. Only the resolution
values available on ranges set by the
RESolution command are returned.
• The resolution with the smallest value (i.e., the best resolution) for the selected
range if
MIN is specified.
• The resolution with the largest value (i.e., the worst resolution) for the selected
range if
MAX is specified.
Example Query the Resolution
